You can use softwares to do so, or you can try this to clear all data: go to start>disk_management>right_click(delete volume)>reactivate_volume>(or format) another is when you install windows------
Also try: go to folders you would like to rid: (example) E:>program_files>(right click) properies>security>advanced>change permissions>(choose your administrator)>apply>ok>edit>administrators>(check full control)>apply>advanced>change permissions>(check "replace all child object...">apply>ok>ok> you should have control over every folder in the drive

Um yea how can I do that when I can't get into windows cause like I said in my post I had some how a super bad corrupted file and it mess up my laptop so what means it means I can't do anything to it that means I can't get into windows either cause if I could I won't be on here okay and my dad wouldn't have to take it to his house plus have to mail it to the manufacturer to be fix if I could got into windows but I can't
Wow you really don't know how to read a post right do you cause if you did you would of seen that I said in my post that my dad took my laptop to his house to see if he could take the hard drive out an try to see if he can factory reset it by hooking it up to his computer but found out he can't cause it was protected and how did he found that out maybe because he hook it up to his computer plus why would he have to mail it to the manufacturer to be fix for? Cause he called an talk with someone there plus they would of told him bout that
